What is this worksheet?
This is a printable phonics worksheet built around word families, which are groups of words that share the same ending sound and spelling, such as -at, -an, -ig and -op. By changing only the first letter, children quickly read a whole family of words. This is one of the fastest ways to grow a child’s reading vocabulary.
What Kids Practise in This Worksheet
This worksheet builds reading speed by teaching whole groups of related words.
- Reading word families like -at, -an, -ig, -op
- Changing the first letter to make new words
- Matching word family words to pictures
- Sorting words into their families
- Writing new words in a given family
Why Word Families Speed Up Reading
Word families group words that share an ending, such as cat, hat, bat and mat. Once a child can read the -at ending, they can read every word in that family just by changing the first letter. This turns one skill into many words, making it one of the most efficient ways to build reading.
Word families also strengthen spelling, because children learn common patterns rather than memorising each word separately.
How to Teach Word Families
Print on A4 and focus on one family at a time, such as -at. Show how changing the first letter makes a new word: cat, hat, mat. Ask the child to read each word and think of more that fit. Move to the next family only once the first is secure.
Reading word family lists aloud builds fluency and confidence quickly.
